JAMES CARR, OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND CURTAIN SUSPENSION-HCOKI To all whomit may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMEs CARR, a subject of the King of Great Britain,residing at Clarence Mills, Clarence street, Chester Road, i Manchester,in the county of Lancaster, Eng- 1 land, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Curtain Suspension-Hmiks, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in curtain suspension-hooks, andparticularly to those hooks which have prongs or hooked fingers adaptedto enter transverse loops in a heading-tape or suspension-band on thecurtain.

In carrying my improvements into efiect I form the upper or mainsuspension-hook as usual and I form two prongs or hooked ,fingers, whichare turned back and preferably upward parallel with the shank of themain hook. The two prongs or hooked fingers have barbs, small hooks, ornotches at their extremities to prevent them from slipping accidentallyout of the transverse loops in the heading-tape.

In an alternative construction I form the hook with three prongs orhooked fingers and with barbs, small hooks, or notches at their lowerextremities to hold the heading-tape.

In the accompanying two sheets of drawings, Figures 1 and2 areelevations of my improved suspension-hook formed with two hooked fingersand with barbed or hooked extremities. Figs. 3 and 4 are elevation andplan, respectively, showing the same applied to the heading-tape orsuspensionband of a curtain. Figs. 5 and 7 are elevations, and

, Fig. 6 is a plan, of my improved suspension hook formed with. threehooked fingers with barbed or hooked extremities; and Figs. 8 and 9 areelevation and plan, respectively, showing the same applied to theheadingtape ofacurtain.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In Figs. 1 to 4, a designates the upper or main suspension-hook; b, theshank; c, the two pron s or hooked fingers, and c the small hoo s, whichaccording to my present invention I form at the extremities of the iSpecification of Letters Patent.

l hooked fingers c to act as barbs and prevent the fingers from slippingaccidentally out of 3 the transverse loops d in the heading-tape of thecurtain e, to which the suspension-hook is shown applied in Figs. 3 and4. .i

, In the alternative construction illustrated by Figs. 5 to 9 thesuspension-hook is formed with three prongs or hooked fingers c, which 5according to my invention are provided with i the small hooks c, as inthe first construction. i

In the first arrangement theshank b is passed through one of thetransverse loops (1 and the two fingers 0 through two other loops (1,whereas in the second construction the three hooked fingers 0 enterthree loops (1, while the shank remains outside. The dil ference in theform of the respective plait or gather thus obtained with the twoconstructions is clearly seen on reference to Figs. 4 and 9;

tion a suspensiondnook with three prongs or fingers has been employed,and I lay no claim to such three-pronged hook apart from the barbsorhooks at the extremities of the prongs.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is- 1 l. The curtain suspension-hook having a main hook a, shankb, and two )rongs or hooked fingers c with barbsor small hooks c attheir extremities substantially as and for the urposes herein describedwith reference to igs. 1 to 4.

2. The curtain sus ension-hook having a main hook a, shankll hookedfingers c with barbs or small hooks c at their extremities substantiallyas and for the purposes herein described with referenceto Figs. 5 to 9.

In testimony whereof I have signed. my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
